What does Ephesians 5:24 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Ephesians 5:24
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ
Her head, being wholly dependent upon him, and entirely resigned
to him, and receiving all from him; from whom alone is all her
expectation of provision, protection, comfort, and happiness;
wherefore she has respect to all his commands, and esteems all
his precepts concerning all things to be right; and yields a
cheerful, voluntary, sincere, and hearty obedience to them;
arising from a principle of love to him, and joined with honour,
fear, and reverence of him:
so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in
everything:
political, domestic, and ecclesiastic; that is consistent with
the laws of God, and the Gospel of Christ.
